I'm 23 and I have six children under seven
0:03
We actually didn't want any more kids. They kind of just started rolling in back to back
0:08
Why don't you believe in birth control? I prefer natural ways of prevention or I get pregnant
0:15
I had four children by the age of 19 and now I have seven. I get comments like, maybe you should have kept your legs closed
0:22
I was 14 years old when I got pregnant. The first year of motherhood for me was difficult
0:27
You can't even drive yet at 15. I'm 24 and I have five children
0:33
What is your day-to-day life like? Imagine if you know a tornado was coming every day in the weather
0:39
I was pregnant at 15. As soon as my dad started to accept it, I found out I was pregnant again
0:46
I had three kids at the age of 18. People say I'm glorifying teenage pregnancy, but I'm just showing my life
0:54
I feel like I'm about to cry with that. I had my first child at 13
0:59
Never in my life did I imagine that I would be a grandma at 31 years old
1:04
If any of my other girls were to become super young teen moms, I would support them
1:13
Doing my hair and makeup makes me feel like a person that's alive and put together
1:20
I feel like when I'm put together, I can take better care of people because I've been taken care of first
1:29
I have four daughters. Alicia is 24. Ariana is 18. Addison is 16 and Aaliyah is 11
1:37
I was 13 years old when I gave birth to Alicia. As a pregnant teenager, I was judged so much
1:45
They all said that I would amount to nothing. I destroyed my life
1:48
They didn't help me do anything but strive to be a better person and prove people wrong
1:55
I had to make sure that I got through and did everything that I needed to do
1:59
because I had a baby that was relying on me to get an education and to better myself
2:04
I stayed in school. I continued to get straight A's. I graduated on time with my class
2:10
When I had Ariana, which is my second daughter, I was 19
2:14
and then I had Addison two weeks before I turned 21. So I had three daughters by the time I was 21
2:22
Having my girls so young, I truly feel like we grew up together
2:26
So I was learning how to life as I was teaching them
2:31
how to be little independent humans. Never in my life did I imagine
2:36
that I would be a grandma at 31 years old. Oh, crack this in it
2:40
Whoa, there you go. How about we do half of the half
2:45
Let me do some. So this is part of my family. Daniel is my husband
2:54
Alicia is my oldest. Aaliyah is my youngest. Ivory Rose is my oldest grandbaby
3:02
And then we have the baby, Hazelie Rayne. She's the boss of everybody
3:07
It's so good. If you couldn't tell. My grand girls call me Mimi
3:11
There is literally no way you're calling me grandma. Being a granddad is awesome
3:16
You get to go have fun with them and then send them back to their mom
3:21
So that's a pretty good deal. So, Leah, how old were you when you became an aunt
3:25
Um, five or six. I don't remember. What does everybody think of your aunt as a grandma
3:32
Old person. Just that, like, it's old. So do you think your mom fits that or is she different than a grandma
4:09
I know what it's like to be a super young mom and it is never anything that I wanted my girls to experience
4:15
But as a super young teen mom, of course, the only thing that i'm going to do is be supportive
4:22
And we're gonna make a tiktok Come on, let's do your nails Mimi loves painting your toes, don't you like when we match
4:30
So I decided to start sharing my life on social media I'm a millennial grandma. Of course, my daughter is a gen z
4:36
Last year, I made my first TikTok. It went viral. And now my niche on TikTok is teen pregnancy
4:44
It's not what I like talking about all the time, but it's what goes viral
4:49
At 12 years old, I knew I was pregnant. But at 12 years old, do you really know what being pregnant is
4:56
It's a mixed reaction because the internet has allowed bullies to hide behind their keyboard and say they would never say to somebody's face
5:05
It's kind of comical, but here's some of the things people have said to me
5:09
How could you allow your daughter to do the exact same thing that you've done? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
5:15
Wow, don't you know that birth control exists? It's a vicious cycle, babies having babies
5:19
It is, but we are the cycle breakers, and it stops with my other girls
5:26
For those who think I'm glamorizing or promoting teen pregnancy, you truly don't know me
5:32
Oh, you are so smart. I'm simply sharing my life and if it bothers you, that's a you problem
5:40
How would you describe the relationship in your life? We're very close. I mean, we always have our ins and outs, but I think that's just because we're so close in age
5:50
I definitely think that her being a teen mom supported me more. She really was there for me as much as I needed her to be
5:57
I was really scared. I was so scared that you were gonna be so mad at me. When you told me that you were pregnant
6:08
I felt like I was getting my daughter back because you were on this not so good path
6:14
So I truly feel like Ivory is such a blessing and truly changed your life for the better
6:21
Made me grow up a little bit A lot actually That's a huge responsibility
6:26
It kind of brought us closer together, too. Because then you knew why I feel the way that I feel because you're a mom now
6:33
What kinds of comments do you see, Michelle, about Alicia's situation? What a repeated cycle
6:40
That your girls are going to make me a great grandma by the time that I'm 45
6:46
I don't think so. What mama or Mimi? It definitely hurts me to see her get that type of comments on her stuff
6:54
because she was a great mom. I mean, she took care of me so young
6:58
did it basically by herself. If my sister Ariana got pregnant around the same age as I did
7:03
I'd probably be very disappointed in her, honestly, because she's seen me and my mom go through it
7:09
I feel like she should wait and live her life first. If any of my other girls were to become super young team moms
7:17
I would support them. I would support them. As a young mom I know what it like to be looked down on to feel like you by yourself and to not know what coming next So Ariana I call her my teen pregnancy cycle breaker because she graduated high school
7:37
She has no babies. She has zero desire to have any babies. I feel like what I've learned from you is that you've just always shown up for me
7:44
I mean, never left my side, always been there for me whenever I need you
7:49
You being raised by me has taught you that you can overcome anything in life
7:55
and I'm so proud of the way that you raised these girls. They are definitely a handful
8:00
They are so loved, so well taken care of, so smart, and it's all a reflection of you
8:07
I feel like what makes a good parent is being there, being present, showing up
8:11
I mean, you can buy your kid anything, but being there is physically what they really want
8:16
I hope anybody that is watching our story unfold sees and knows that they can get through anything in life
8:26
It's definitely hard, but we can definitely get through it. For my family as a whole in the future, I hope that we continue to grow and our bond becomes stronger
8:36
and the cycle of teen pregnancy continues to be broken because there's a lot more girls in this family that still need to grow up
8:46
But it stops with us. It's okay. Don't be nervous. I'm about to eat in a second
8:57
He is so freaking cute. My name is Nigel, and I am a mother to six
9:02
Here. Scorched this with the hot water. My husband's name is Tomaz, and we've been together for three years
9:09
Hold on, Papa. Come on, and let's sit down and eat. You're about to eat in a second
9:13
I think he's having a allergic reaction. Is it? Yeah, I think so
9:20
Yep, it is. Okay, were you going to take him? Yeah, I'll take him
9:24
He'd have to take him to the hospital real fast. Kyrie got into the egg somehow, so Tomashi took him to the hospital just to be safe
9:32
Everything's okay, though. They'll be back really soon. Okay, so how many pieces of French toast do you want
9:36
Do you want French toast or do you just want bacon? Fifteen. Fifteen. I like eight. Eight
9:41
eight pieces of French toast. How much do you guys spend on groceries with
9:47
Probably about 250 to 300 a week. But yeah, that's honestly how much we spend on grill
9:53
How many brothers and sisters do you have? One, two, three, four, four. Nice
10:01
Okay, so this is Payton, he's seven. This is Allie, she's five
10:06
This is Auburn, she is three. And then here are the twins
10:11
This is Silas, she is five months, and Cecilia, and she's also five months old
10:17
Peyton is a giant goofball. He takes everything as a joke, but not in a bad way
10:23
Ally, on the other hand, she is definitely sassy, just like her mama
10:27
No doubt about it. Albie, her attitude is 100 for sure. Kyrie, he's just a daddy's boy
10:36
My twin girls, they're just busy being cute and cuddly. He said, cut
10:46
Cut! Oh, that's good. You're going to be a director, aren't you
10:51
I gave birth when I was 15 years old to my first child, Peyton
10:55
Speaking honestly, I was really embarrassed because I wasn't sure how I got pregnant
11:02
And I was only 15. I was literally still playing with the dolls. Whenever my mom found out I was pregnant, she was not supportive at first
11:09
She was very upset with me. But over time, she became my biggest support system ever, along with my sisters
11:17
I was 16 when I got pregnant again with my second child, Allie
11:23
And what was your life like back then with two kids? Life was really different because I felt like I wasn't really being a mom
11:32
Did you have a good breakfast? Hmm? I'll be, if you don't eat that, come back to this table
11:39
I'll stay in here with you. I met Tomas about three years ago at a grocery store we were both working at
11:44
He was amazing with my two kids at the time. The first time they met him, it was just nothing but just good vibes and happiness
11:51
And he just immediately took them in as his own. I found out I was pregnant with our first child about two months after we started dating
11:58
Honestly, I thought I was going to be upset, but we were both really happy. Me and Tomas, we have four kids together
12:06
We actually didn't want any more kids. they kind of just started rolling in back to back, just being honest
12:13
So, since the babies are sleeping, do you all want to go outside for a little bit? Yeah. Alright, go grab some toys and grab your shoes on, so go get some toys. Okay
12:22
Oh my gosh. So, I do homeschool all of the kids, even my youngest one, because it's actually pretty easy
12:30
I really enjoy homeschooling, and I'm sure they do too. How big of a job is to get everybody organized to go outside and play
12:38
Stop, baby. It's a job. Well, how big of a job? They're so excited to get out the door, it's like they don't pay attention to what they're
12:46
doing so they'll put the shoes on the wrong feet, put the pants inside out
12:50
It's crazy. Come on, let's go take a nap. Okay. Daddy's boy
13:00
Very much. I'm currently brushing my hair because me and Tomas is gonna have some alone time later
13:09
It's been a while since we've been out by ourselves. So I started doing TikTok about three years ago
13:14
but over the last year, that's when I really started taking it serious
13:19
I got six kids, I don't have time to be sitting on my this morning, let's get to making breakfast
13:23
Breakfast with purple clams. Meaning each child told me what they wanted me to make. And I really like to share my experience
13:30
with all six kids as a 23 year old stay home mom. Dear family, I'm going
13:34
I would never leave my baby. I'm just happy I didn't leave nothing cold out on the table. Because I would've been real
13:39
I like to make realistic content for other moms, to let them know, like, you know
13:43
obviously nobody's perfect, and it's okay to have your flaws. What kinds of response have you had
13:48
to sharing your day to day life and backstory? I've gotten plenty of horrible responses
13:54
from people that think I'm so miserable. Bashing me as a mom
13:57
telling me they're gonna hate me when they get older because they have so many siblings
14:01
It's honestly just so disgusting that, You know, how negative people can get
14:06
They don't think somebody could be genuinely happy with a life like this, only being 23 years old
14:12
I never wanted to have a career or anything. What are y'all doing
14:18
That's been all we wanted. Let's calm down. People often think that since I have six kids
14:25
that I completely ruined my life. They think that everything that I want in a life is on hold
14:31
which is 100% not true. They often think that, you know, since I have six kids
14:37
all of my kids are gonna feel abandoned or alone in a way because I have so many
14:42
when in reality each child all gets, you know, equal love and a happy home
14:47
They think being a mom to six kids is like a chore
14:51
You're so cute, both of y'all. When really it really fun in my opinion How would you describe your family Crazy I gotta go change your system We all love each other Oh I love kissing them Y are so freaking cute
15:06
Get home from work and they all run to the door. That's the best thing you can ask for
15:10
How would you say you and Nigel support each other as parents
15:15
When I come home, you know, I do what needs to be done. She does what needs to be done
15:20
And we just support each other in that way. We're a big family
15:24
The kids are happy. We're happy. We just love each other. Tell me what Nigel thinks makes a good parent
15:32
What I think. Oh, not me getting emotional. Just thinking about what I think
15:40
Okay. Let me not cry. So what I think makes you a good parent is just being present and being there
15:51
Because that's something your kids will always remember. Do you have any specific hopes for the future for your family
15:57
Just one day have our own house in the country, you know, have our farm animals
16:02
Would you like to have any more children? No. No more kids. No, no, no
16:13
No, thank you. I'm good. Where are you going
16:25
Come back here! You're gonna help me make a tall ice cream cone
16:29
Hey, can you please go over here for... and play with your toys over here
16:33
Because we're trying to film a video. You need to go eat your snack over there, please
16:37
You'll be in the video later. My name is Reason, I'm 21
16:41
My name is Bella and I'm 20 years old. We have two children
16:45
Posey is like the most smart, funny, sweet little kid. She's just literally
16:51
the sweetest little two-year-old ever. You want to read this one? Yeah, I love that
16:56
You're so funny. And then we have Centauri, but we call her Aria
17:05
and she is almost one. High five! Yeah, good job. I was 17 when I got pregnant
17:12
with Posey, and then I got pregnant again at 18 years old with Aria
17:17
What does this say? Cluck! Cluck! She's so smart and she's really advanced. She's on like a kindergarten to like a first grade
17:26
reading level. She knows things better than me sometimes. The girl is scared
17:34
The girl is scared? Yeah. I know. How would you guys describe your parenting style
17:40
I would like to say there's not really a name for our style. We just parent how we feel. It's kind of parenting with common sense
17:46
We parent based off of our kids and not just kids in general
17:50
We're also Christian, so we try and take aspects from that as well
17:56
Now, what's this? Chicken. A what? Chicken. Can you say it louder
18:03
Chicken! And what does the chicken say? Bop, bop! Alright, there you go
18:09
And then we go back, and then we come in, and then we do the, you know
18:13
when you guys decided to share your story on social media. When I first made my first post, I was pregnant with Posey
18:20
I was probably about like 12 weeks pregnant and I just made an announcement post
18:24
It kind of blew up and so then I was like, maybe I'll try and make a few more videos
18:29
So the video that got almost 70 million views was the video of my like bump progress
18:36
throughout my pregnancy with Posey. This is the video that went really viral
18:40
There was a lot of controversy in the comments on it. With being young parents, I feel like the judgments we mainly get is we're too young to know how to parent kids
18:53
We're kids raising kids type of thing. They'll say that I'll leave. We're emotionally mature
18:59
What they don't realize is what kids do to you. It'll change you and your maturity level
19:04
What are some of the challenges that you think you've experienced as a result of being young parents
19:09
Nobody's our age. Nobody with kids is our age. Everybody else who has kids is so much older than us
19:15
We've lost a lot of friends and people in our lives because of that
19:20
because we had kids. What do you think that's the caption? I don't know about the caption yet
19:25
And now we're pregnant with our third child, and we're really excited
19:29
We actually did plan this one. It probably sounds really crazy because we have two under two already
19:34
Yeah, people think we're nuts. They will think we're nuts. We enjoy it. We love it
19:40
Right now we're posting our pregnancy announcement for baby number three. Are you with an apple
19:48
Yes, I have an apple. I'll take one. Thanks for the offer. Thank you so much. You say you're welcome
19:57
You're welcome. Posey, do you want to click the button? Oh, he said hey
20:05
Thank you. I'm nervous. how do you guys think the response will be uh i think like our followers right now will probably
20:15
be supportive so someone commented bro free already congratulation got another one that
20:21
said happy for you but if it starts reaching a lot beyond that that's where a lot of negativity
20:27
will come because that's where you get most of the assumptions is people who don't know us at all
20:32
and just see, oh, 303 at that age? Oh, I don't know
20:36
We planned it for a few reasons. For one, our wedding is in next September
20:41
and so I didn't want to be pregnant at the wedding, and we also didn't want our kids too far apart
20:46
It's like buying at Costco for babies. You know, just do it all at once, buy in bulk, and get it done
20:52
What do you guys think it'll be like having three kids? I think it'll just be slightly more crazy
20:59
We do really well with both girls already, And so we feel like we can handle a third and obviously like we'll find out down the road how hard it actually is
21:09
But we're really excited about it. Why don't you believe in birth control
21:15
With birth control, I don't believe in it for myself. I prefer natural ways of prevention or I get pregnant
21:22
This is just going off of my own theories, my own personal beliefs
21:26
So take it as you will. obviously i'm not a doctor but i know from so many experiences like my friends have had my family
21:36
has had and just so many other women online who have come to me birth control has messed with
21:41
their hormones it's messed with their fertility and it's just it disgusts me personally people
21:46
respond to you when you share that opinion online i had mixed opinions on that for sure i think
21:52
majority of people actually were supportive because a lot of people were standing by the
21:58
fact that yeah it did mess with my hormones it did mess with my fertility and then there were
22:03
other people who were like no there's no statistics people like saying there's no proof like you know
22:08
fighting on it personally it's not something i have or ever will put in my body but i don't judge
22:13
anybody for either. Hi Poisey! Hi! Hi! Wow! Oh, I got my nice seat right here
22:22
Hey he getting a sit on you So Desiree tell me how did you feel when Bella and Reason told you that Bella was pregnant the first time Oh her hair wants a toy
22:35
Well, I actually knew before they told me. I was excited and nervous because they were young, for sure
22:44
Told Reason that he needed to straighten up and get his stuff together
22:51
Yeah, it wasn't. yeah he was being a teenager and having fun at first I was kind of worried but
22:58
they stepped up and proved me wrong now they got these beautiful kids and
23:03
everybody that sees them makes the same comment they're just like oh my gosh
23:07
they're really good parents and you don't hear that from a lot of people with
23:11
teenage kids or teenagers with kids you know so they've impressed a lot of
23:16
people. The fact that they don't want to be birth control, like, how is that for you? I am okay with
23:22
them not doing it. It's a personal opinion. I just don't know when it stops. We need to plan on being
23:32
married. Now we're engaged and we're planning to get married next September. We proposed at the
23:38
exact same time. At the same time, at a rocket launch. We're excited for it to finally happen
23:43
and even more excited that all three of our kids are going to be at the wedding
23:47
So that's going to be really cool. Would you guys like to have any more children? We feel comfortable with four
23:52
Our idea was if we, this third one, if it's a boy, we most likely will stop
24:00
But if it's not a boy, we're definitely going to have a fourth. Having a seven-year-old son as a 22-year-old is fun
24:10
It feels like we're growing up together. He is my little ball of joy
24:17
You want me to help you? Yeah. Okay, grab me a crayon
24:21
I would say Milo has a very fun personality. He's very into sports
24:26
He loves being active. Now we're both writing cards. What's a goal of yours for 2024, Milo
24:32
What's something you would like to accomplish? The play flag football. Flag football? Yeah
24:41
You gonna do it? Okay, grab the pink one and let's cheers it
24:49
Ready? Cheers! You gotta say cheers! When I found out I was pregnant, I was definitely terrified
24:59
I don't feel like I got to enjoy my pregnancy being a teen mom because it was something that I hid and was very, like, scared of telling people and kind of, there was a lot of shame around it
25:08
So when I saw him for the first time, it was magical. What do you want to do today, Myla
25:13
Did you want to go over to Nani's? Yeah. Woo-hoo! I told my parents pretty much as soon as I found out I was pregnant
25:26
They were pretty disappointed. I felt like, well, being a teen mom myself, I felt like a failure
25:40
it like really hit me hard if I could go back I would definitely change my reaction really I was
25:48
like I feel like I could have been much more supportive to you it's a whole learning thing
25:53
you learn from it I don't feel like anybody's ever prepared for that you know you're never prepared
25:58
to tell your parents that you're pregnant at 14 and you're never prepared to hear that your 14
26:02
year old's pregnant I think being young moms has bonded us in a way because we're almost kind of
26:07
like sisters. We grew up together. Our relationship is, it's so beautiful. The first year of motherhood
26:13
for me was definitely difficult. I was 15. You can't even drive yet at 15. You did everything
26:22
for Milo. You got up with him. You took care of him. You were a very independent mother. We truly
26:28
had a better relationship after I moved out because I felt like I could just be the head of my
26:34
household because I was trying to be that for Milo. When I moved out, I was 18 and Milo was
26:42
three. Well, you've done a great job with everything. I'm so proud of you
26:47
I wouldn't change anything, honestly. Let's talk about your love life. All right. That's going to need to be a whole other episode
26:58
I have high standards because I'm a mom. I've had people that have almost degraded moms and they're like
27:07
you should lower your standards because you're a mom or you're expecting too much as a single mom. No, if you're a single mom, you should have higher standards
27:13
Why would you lower your standards when you have children? That makes zero sense
27:18
Dad's here. I've seen such a strength over you. I just know that you're going to be successful at whatever you do
27:24
And anything that you put your hands to, I'm so proud of you. I'm so thankful for you
27:29
Such a good mother. I think being a grandparent is the greatest thing ever
27:37
I experienced a lot of judgment when I found out I was pregnant at 14
27:42
It got through the school pretty quick. A lot of people would call me names in the hall
27:47
and there was horrible rumors that were going around. I think that when people hate on you, it says more about them than you
27:57
I didn't drop out of high school. I persevered through high school. I did, however, stop going
28:04
to public school after I had Milo. I started doing online school, so I was able to graduate
28:10
and I still walked at my ceremony with Milo on my hip. I do still experience judgment. I've gone
28:17
out multiple times and people will be like, oh, you look really young. You don't look like you'd
28:22
have a seven-year-old, I certainly experience more judgment online. I've received tens of thousands
28:28
of hate comments that are pretty brutal. What have some of the more negative comments said
28:33
I don't even know if I can say. Most of them are honestly just them calling me a
28:37
****. People will be like, how dare you promote teen pregnancy? I would never, I wouldn't wish
28:45
this on anybody and I would never promote it. I totally believe that you should wait till you're
28:49
married. A lot of the more positive comments are people just proud of me for being a good mom
28:55
for giving Milo a good life. I really thrive off of those and I don't pay any attention to the
29:00
negative. There definitely is a stigma around being a teen mom. A lot of people have their
29:05
own opinions. They think that the child is just in a bad situation. I think that being a young mom
29:12
also doesn't determine how good of a mom you are. Hello! Hi, beautiful
29:21
Aw, you guys look so pretty! Good to see you! When we first met, you didn't know that I was a mom, right
29:31
What did you think when I told you that I had Milo at 15? I was surprised, but I also..
29:37
You're just such an amazing person that hearing that made me really happy for Milo to have you as a mom
29:44
I thought Milo was your little brother. Alia definitely brings out my goofy side
29:50
Having Milo so young, I feel like I've always had to be grown
29:55
And so when I don't have Milo and like Alia and I get together and we just like kind of
29:59
I know we're just like high schoolers again. So you guys are business partners now. Tell me about that
30:04
How's it going? So good. Oh yeah. And something that Jocelyn and I love to do is like
30:10
when we're out, we'll be anywhere. We'll be out at a bar
30:14
We will be out at a restaurant. I don't care where we're at, a party. We're selling houses
30:18
And we're selling houses. Having Milo at such a young age definitely caused me to be more driven
30:24
because I wanted to be able to provide a good life for him. I am a real estate broker
30:30
I would say I'm successful. Am I where I want to be
30:33
Probably not. I think there's always room for growing. I think Alex is just such a role model for women
30:40
I feel like sometimes I see, you know, these teen moms. You get labeled as a teen mom and it has a negative connotation
30:45
She did everything. And so that's something that, like, you should be, like, proud of
30:48
People need a role model like you. Like, people need a role model like you to know they can do it too
30:53
Aww. Well, that's crazy you guys say that because you guys are my role model. So that means a lot coming from you guys
31:00
I really would like to use my platform as a platform to encourage other moms
31:04
encourage other teen moms or single moms, and building success and building their dream life
31:09
and not letting their circumstances prevent them from that. I feel my life is way better with Milo than without
31:17
I couldn't imagine it any other way. I told him that he can achieve any of his dreams if he just works towards it
31:22
and if he really believes that he can. I would describe my teen mom journey as honestly a wild roller coaster
31:30
If I could go back in time and tell my younger self when I was 14 and found out I was pregnant
31:36
I would just say that, you know, life is really, it's really not that serious
31:41
People's opinions of you just really don't matter in the long run. Are you ready for your bottle
31:49
He's ready for the bottle. I'm Trina and I'm 19. I'm Wilson and I'm 19
31:53
And we're teen parents of two kids. One is two years old, his name is Amir
31:56
And then Jace, he's four months old. I would describe Amir as funny
32:01
He's always like dancing and like making everyone laugh. And then Jace is really like calm and hungry
32:08
Like he wants that bottle like right away. When Amir was born, I was 16
32:16
When Jace was born, I was just turned 19. I always see myself as being a mom, just not at this age
32:24
I never envisioned myself being a dad at such an early age
32:28
Never in the moving years. It was a big turning point at that time. My whole perspective changed my life
32:34
My morning before I had kids, I would just wake up and go to school
32:38
and then after school, I'd come back home and go to sleep. Now I wake up early. We have to wake up before 8.50 in the morning to give Jaycee's medicine
32:47
That's a huge responsibility I would say for now. I was like, the hearing aids for Amir and his medicine
32:52
Amir, music. Where's your microphone? Amir has a syndrome called Warnenberg syndrome
32:58
which causes eyes to be blue, comes with hearing loss. They gave him hearing aids
33:04
Chase, when he was born, he was extremely yellow. He wasn't waking up
33:08
He wasn't crying. He wasn't eating. Found out that he had seizures and brain bleeds
33:13
Right now, we just know he has epilepsy. There's a lot of responsibilities add on to our lives
33:19
I feel like I was very immature and I made a lot of mistakes when I was younger
33:23
Now I have kids like, let me be mature, let me grow up. We were really young, the only thing we were doing was going to school and coming home
33:31
Only thing that changed was more so us working, us having more things to do like dropping the
33:35
kids off daycare, doctor's appointments, having more things to do, like add to our list
33:41
I mainly work since morning to afternoon, so all credits to her, she takes care of the
33:46
kids from there. Then once I get home, you know, I help out. I can make a bottle
33:51
I take care of the little one. He eats a lot. Sometimes we feed him four ounces, and then he starts crying
34:00
and then we give him, like, two more ounces, and he just goes straight to sleep. When and why did you guys start posting on TikTok about being parents
34:07
I mainly just started posting about Amira's Wartenberg, just to, like, get, like, answers and, like, clarity of, like, will my son be okay
34:13
I just wanted to show that I'm a teen parent. I wanted to let that be known
34:17
I used to get comments like, your life must be so hard now. People saying you guys can take care of them right
34:23
or you guys know your life. I feel like there's a lot of stigma about being teen parents because
34:27
they probably don't think we can handle it, or they probably think we aren't gonna be
34:32
as responsible as older people. You should be worried about school and being young
34:37
not spreading your legs. Okay. There's a lot of people our age that do the same thing
34:45
they just don't get the same results or they just choose a different result
34:48
We made that decision to keep our kids, so for us that's our own route
34:54
Single mom in the making. I love this girl to death. That would never happen for my part
34:58
Children shouldn't be having children. When you're 18, you're an adult. Just wait two years and finish high school
35:04
One, we graduated on time. Two, I'm still taking college classes. I actually brought my son on stage who grabbed my diploma
35:13
So that was a very big moment for me as well. And we went to her graduation as well
35:17
and we just shot him from the back, like, hey, there you go, mama. Having a baby doesn't stop nothing
35:22
I'm still doing the same thing that kids my age are doing
35:25
They're in school, I'm still in school. They're living their life, and I'm living mine just with kids
35:32
How did your families react when you found out you were pregnant
35:36
When I first got pregnant, I was living with my parents, and he was living with his mom
35:41
My family reacted very disappointed and upset. My dad was like, didn't say nothing
35:48
he was more so crying and wouldn't really look at me. My dad was like, no, stay away from my daughter
35:53
I don't want you near my daughter. He just didn't want to see him or talk to him
35:57
It was just very negative at that point. I had a lot of anger in me because I wasn't thinking
36:04
about his perspective or anything, I was just thinking about myself. I was thinking, oh, how can you not let me see her
36:09
after this or like... I was just really upset. Now that I look back at it, I understand his perspective
36:14
You know, his daughter, 15, having a baby. It was just our families clashing against each other
36:20
because we didn't, we never had like a talk. We never had a talk at that point
36:25
Hey guys, how are you? Today we're gonna have a conversation with my stem mom
36:29
We haven't had a conversation about it since I was pregnant for the second time. I'm nervous to hear her actual thoughts
36:34
She usually doesn't hold back. How did you feel when I was pregnant for the first time
36:38
Oh my God. I was in shock. I find out two days before you tell me
36:44
and I was so upset. Your dad was acting kind of weird those days
36:49
When he called me that day at the room, I said, what is it? He told me once Trina is pregnant
36:56
And I was like, what? We are trying to do our best as a parent
37:00
Even I'm not your mom, but I try to do the best for you guys
37:04
And it hurt my feelings a lot. How did you and my dad feel about the second pregnancy
37:10
We were 18, we found out we were pregnant again. My dad, I told him first
37:15
He was like, why would you tell me this right now? My stepmom, she just didn't say nothing
37:22
She was just quiet. And I couldn see her reaction I say they were very shocked and disappointed We were so upset That means we were in shock especially the way that we find out
37:37
We held it in for so long because we weren't sure if Jace was going to make it or not
37:42
because during the procedures they did tell me there was a high chance that he wasn't able
37:46
he wasn't going to make it. So we didn't want everybody to like deal with what we were going
37:50
through. But I would like to know it before, even if something happened. I was upset about the
37:56
pregnancy, the both pregnancies, the way that we find out. I understand that you guys, you and my
38:00
dad, were very disappointed and didn't agree with our decisions, but I do respect that you guys were
38:07
very helpful and still treating my kids like they were yours. I'm very grateful for that because most
38:13
parents would have just kicked their kids out, so I'm very grateful for that. I see the responsibility
38:17
that you guys have and you guys are doing so well. I'll be there for you always
38:21
All right, guys. Thank you. Do you have any regrets about having kids so young
38:27
Me personally, I have no regrets in my life. I feel like this is probably the best thing
38:32
that ever happened to me because it's changed my perspective and made me mature early on
38:37
It makes me work harder every single day. Like that's my why now
38:42
Parenting, actually like, it's like fun. Kids are always happy. They're like little angels
38:49
They're looking at us and they're just like smiling. And it's just like, why am I sad right now
38:53
I have my person, like I have my babies. Gave us like a purpose in a way
38:57
What message do you have for those who might judge you for being teen parents? There's no need to judge people
39:03
for making their decisions at a young age. We're still doing what we have to do for our kids
39:07
and also for ourselves. And if you do judge, it's not really our issue
39:11
Keep on hating. We're still living. We're still gonna take care of our kids
39:15
We're still gonna grow together and have fun. Just be positive, man
39:22
Kids are starving right now. They are hungry every morning. That's the first thing they want, breakfast
39:27
So I'm doing the five kids first, and then I'll do the babies. I tend to feed them together
39:32
So how many kids have we got in here? We've got seven kids all together
39:37
Guys, breakfast time! Hurry up, come on! This is Kazea. She's my eldest
39:43
She's 10 years old. We've got the twins, Isaac and Isaiah. Yeah
39:49
We've got Jeremiah. And then we've got Saraya Nicole, and we've got Azari, and then we've got Kehlani Ray
39:58
This is my partner. He's very camera shy. And then my brother, Ezreal
40:04
Hello, hello. And I'm mum. Oh yes, you're welcome. I'm mum. My house is very chaotic
40:11
It can get very noisy, but it's full of love, and I wouldn't change it for the world
40:15
My kids are very loud. I don't even speak. You're loud. You're not loud
40:24
So in the morning, the kids will get up, brush their teeth, have a shower
40:28
come down for their breakfast, and then they'll probably go straight on their tablets for Sunday, so we tend to do some homework
40:35
do some uniform prep, and yeah, it's quite a busy day. But once the kids are in bed by 6.30
40:42
I will, yeah, 6.30, that's when I get me time. All right, upstairs, let's go, let's go
40:47
What are you doing? Why are you walking to me like this? So this is the boys' room
40:52
I had to get a triple bunk bed to make use of the space. Are you happy with your beds
40:56
Yeah. I was 16 years old when I fell pregnant with my first child
41:01
Being a mum at 16 is definitely very overwhelming. I was very overwhelmed
41:06
I'm still a child myself. Having my first child, I felt a lot of judgment from others
41:12
I felt embarrassed, I felt like I let my mum down. It wasn't a nice feeling
41:16
I was very scared to tell my mum, so I spoke with my sister. I wrote a message to my mum on Facebook
41:21
and I said to her, it was a paragraph of me explaining how much I love her and how she's so lovely
41:27
and she's not any less of a mother. And then I told her I was pregnant and all I got was seen
41:33
No response. Look, you draw me on this side and you draw me on this side
41:37
and don't make my head look big. When she came home, she didn't speak to me. She stayed in her room, we didn't have any conversation
41:44
and then eventually my mum came upstairs and she literally said to me
41:49
so are you not gonna speak? I said, about what? And she's like, what's in this
41:56
And immediately after that she gave me a hug. So that made me feel like she was gonna support me. Isaiah? What
42:03
Who's that supposed to be? Me. Me? That does not look like me
42:08
That does not look like me. Do you like having a boys' room? Yeah
42:13
What do you like about a boys' room? We like about a boys' room
42:17
If one was so split, then I'd probably be scared. Because we don't like monsters
42:22
You don't like monsters? No? Are there monsters under the bed? No
42:27
I hope not. Why would there be monsters? So this is the girls' room. Hello
42:33
I wanted to give my daughter a double bed because she's going to high school, so she needed that space and then Soraya's at the top
42:40
You're drawing! I'm proud of you, Kazel. She shows me that I'm doing a good job
42:48
because she really does help with her siblings. She genuinely helps them. When it comes to school, she helps them in the morning
42:54
She tells them, guys, remember, you brush this way when you're brushing your teeth
42:58
she'll guide them with how to do their laces instead of doing it. These are orange. Orange
43:03
So this is the baby's room. This is the smallest room in the house. It's like a very small box room
43:08
We've got Azari in this bed, and then we've got Kalani in this bed. We're going to change your nappy because you smell
43:14
So I have three baby dads. I had one child for the first dad
43:19
I had four for the second. And my current partner right now, we have two children together
43:24
Me and Mario, we've always known each other. We would talk online
43:28
So around 2021, you know, we just started talking a bit more
43:33
He was coming over a bit more. He was playing with the kids. He made me feel like, okay, let's go to the park with the kids
43:39
He would come to my house and bring nappies and he would just do things that I never asked
43:43
and I instantly fell in love with him for that. Now we can start cleaning
43:58
So in my TikTok videos, I post a lot of voice overs
44:02
and I do a lot of clean with me's. I'm gonna organise the boys wardrobe with me
44:07
After I've done my video, I'll try and trim it down to about three minutes
44:11
and I'm gonna start my voice over. In this video, I'm gonna be tidying up the baby's room
44:15
The baby's room looks very messy. The kids were playing up and down all day today
44:19
so there's a lot of things that I need to do. When I first started, I got quite a few hate comments
44:25
I mean, I still do sometimes. I get comments like, maybe you should have kept your legs closed
44:30
Why don't you use contraception? This is shameful, that many kids at your age
44:34
And then I've got any fathers knocking about The benefit check of my tax must be good
44:39
I'm not gonna lie, it used to really bother me. I used to cry about it. They used to just have such an input on my life
44:45
Now I'm like, you know what? Say whatever you have to say, cuss me out, just give me a comment, whatever, it's helping me, it's paying me
44:51
People are gonna say things no matter what. It not gonna change my kids It not gonna change how I parent them My mum and my sister are gonna be coming over today Hello And I looking forward to that They always help me with the kids Hi
45:05
Hey. Hello, princess. It definitely takes a village to raise a child
45:10
Like, without my support system, genuinely, I don't know where I would be. How many grandkids all together then
45:16
So we've got 24, mum. You've got 24. That's so greedy. How greedy
45:21
How did you feel when you found out I was pregnant at 16
45:27
I didn't like you. I was very disappointed. To be honest, I felt wounded
45:31
I felt like, I can't explain. I felt like I'd lost you. And I was thinking that because of her age
45:39
she might not be able to give them what they need because she was still a child herself
45:45
But she proved us wrong. I remember her coming and saying to me, and I was like, oh, my gosh
45:51
You're pregnant, like, oh my dear, oh my dear. God works in mysterious ways because I feel that the way me and her relationship was prior to having Kezea
45:58
Had she not had Kezea, I don't think she'd be like this now. Because she was different
46:05
I told you you'd be best friends when you got older. I'm open to having another child
46:10
I don't know if my mum and sister know that I want to have more children. And I'm really nervous because I want to talk to them about the potential thought of having another baby
46:18
How would you guys feel if I was to have another baby after marriage
46:26
One thought that made no difference. I was going to say, you've got, like, tonny. You're going to be shocking
46:30
I know, I just want you guys to drink, like, people know a bit. I'm so used to it now
46:34
Absolutely not. So you're happy with the kids I've got you? I love my grandkids
46:39
I'll always support her. I don't agree with her most times, but I love my grandkids
46:43
so I'll always support her. She has been looking after children from she was 12
46:46
because her older siblings have always had children. So I've never been actually worried about her looking after kids
46:52
There'll be a lot of young girls out there today who are going to be in your situation
46:55
and are going to get the same stigma that you get. And I feel you telling your story is going to help a lot of others
47:01
And just because you've got seven children, I don't see why that wouldn't make me proud of you
47:06
It doesn't make sense. I was saying, keep it up. Having kids don't... It doesn't change anything
47:13
Guys, come downstairs. It's a stair gate. Good girl. I hope one day that my kids, you know, come out of school
47:22
you know, have their education and basically, you know, just do well for themselves
47:35
I wouldn't mind going back into work, but whilst I have so many young kids now, being a stay-at-home mum now, it just, it works best for me
47:42
That goes for me too. I'm super excited for my future with my kids
47:49
because I just know that we're going to make it. I just see it. I just have really good hope and faith
47:55
that we're going to make it and that they're going to see that this was all worth it
48:02
Treasure, I need you to come down with your brothers. It's time to clean
48:07
Hi, my name is Turquoise and I'm a mother of four. My oldest is Ta-Ead
48:11
He's 19 years old. Then I have 17-year-old twins, Marcel and Treasure
48:16
And then I have an 8-year-old. His name is Zemir. Do you think it's fair that everyone kind of does a little bit to chip in and help
48:23
Yeah, I think it's a mandatory, actually. Y'all have their own home one day, and I want them to keep their homes clean
48:31
What was it like having such a young mom growing up? Was it fun? Was it hard
48:38
There was hardship and fun. we're close in age so I guess you could say we kind of relate a little bit like that and then
48:46
the harsh hardships is that she's also growing up as well being a young adult with children
48:53
so when I found out that I was pregnant at 16 I was super nervous my mother was pretty
49:00
disappointed I actually hid it from her then I was 17 and I had got pregnant again and I found
49:06
that I was having twins. And so that's how I end up having three children
49:11
by the time I was 18. How would you describe life as a teen mom
49:16
with three children? Really hard. I don't advise anyone to do it
49:22
You know, at 18, you're supposed to be figuring out what you want to do with your life
49:27
You're not supposed to be raising children and then not on your own
49:31
What kind of stuff do you help your mom with? Like, sometimes I take out the trash
49:36
a lot when I be helping her. Do you think your mom is a good mom
49:42
Yeah, she's a great mom. Zamir and Jameer, they were my second twin pregnancy
49:49
I did enjoy that pregnancy, but it was really rough because they were premature
49:53
I found that out at five months. I found out I was having identical boys, and they shared a placenta
49:58
And Jameer, which is Zamir's twin, he wasn't getting everything that he needed
50:03
And unfortunately, he passed away 23 days before his first birthday. So I need the lettuce and cheese
50:13
And you could just put it on a plate like we do so we can place it on the table
50:19
We're having tacos. Tacos is one of our favorite things to eat
50:27
So who do you guys think is the best cook in the family? I would say best of them is my mom
50:35
But Tait thinks it's him or mom. No, I was going to say my mother as well
50:41
And then me. Like, if you was in the cooking contest, you would get first, second, third, third, third, third
50:50
You're not even fifth. Do you guys think your mom is strict
50:56
No, not at all. I think that I'm trick when it matters
51:01
I've been living long enough to know like what's important or more important
51:07
Do you guys feel like you can talk to your mom about anything
51:11
I feel like yeah, because like I'm really open with my mom, you know, I don't keep no
51:16
secrets, you know. I really come to my mom a lot. So do you guys all get along as siblings
51:23
I feel like we get along as siblings. We get along sometimes, but nobody's perfect
51:29
So we have our ups and downs. Hey guys, welcome back to our channel
51:35
So right now I'm editing our New York vlog. We were there for Tyee's 19th birthday
51:40
Tyee's 19. Serious, Tyee's 19. We want to go back down Times Square
51:45
We looking good. We want some pics. I love that I've captured so much happy moments with my kids
51:51
They going around, they going around, they going around. Oh! I started sharing my story online in about 2022
51:58
So some of the responses I've got on social media have been good, but some have been bad
52:05
I receive a lot of negative comments in regards to me being a teenage parent
52:13
It's as if people want me to go hide in the house. So some of the negative comments are comments like, you need a chastity belt and straight jacket on that
52:23
Just another grown woman I will look at as an example of what not to do How is having three kids before 18 to flex That sick With a sick emoji Let stop flexing this because that showing this new generation that being a single teen parent is okay
52:41
Another person said, what happened to morals? OMG. You shouldn't have a child or especially not three kids
52:49
I'm so young, but, you know, this is my life. Sometimes I respond back to negative comments, but I've learned that it's best to not respond
52:57
because a lot of the people on social media, they can go back and forth for days
53:02
Do people at school judge you guys or think it's weird that you have such a young mom
53:06
Um, I wouldn't say judge, like, now that I'm older. I wouldn't say judge
53:10
They'll be, like, more shocked, like, no, that's your mom. Like, sometimes, like, me and my mom will walk in a stir
53:15
They'll probably think that's my sister or something. For the people that just, they would say like things like discrediting my mom or something, like seeing she really don't take care of us or whatever
53:26
How do you feel about your mom posting, you know, videos of you guys online, doing like her blog and Instagram
53:32
No, I do not mind being online. I actually absolutely love being online because like, yeah, you get negativity, but I'm not really worried about that
53:41
I'm more focused on the positivity and it's the positivity outweighs the negativity
53:47
I would say my family is really creative, if you want to call it that, or adventurous
53:53
Because as you can see, we really like going on trips and stuff
53:59
I feel like we're a great family. How are you
54:08
I'm pretty good. You know, we're going on a cruise to the Bahamas. Hopefully, you were able to come with us
54:14
Yes, absolutely. How does it feel, Mom? I'm like, you see, looking back, you know
54:18
we're talking about how, like, I had three kids by the time I was 18
54:22
I was so upset because the one time, okay, but the other right after
54:26
I'm like, what is going on? If you remember, I felt the kids
54:32
I felt that you was pregnant again. I wanted to scream out the window
54:36
it's going to be twins, that's what you get. But again, I have to take blame
54:42
because you were still a young teenager and I should have been watching you way better
54:47
Like making sure that I was like... And just more focused on, you know, was he taking birth control, what was going on
54:53
and being more open to talking. How would you feel if any of your children
54:58
had kids at a young age like you did? I would not be happy
55:05
I would be really sad because although I overcame many things, being a teenage parent, I don't want that for my children
55:12
Me having teenagers myself now, I see that it's really important, like being aware and, you know, having those hard talks
55:19
Yes. Because you just look and your daughter's 18 with three kids
55:23
Yes. So I definitely understand. At the time, it just seemed like it was just scary just not knowing what you're going to do with being so young with small children
55:37
Like, thinking back to all those years ago, and now here we are, like, what do you think about, like, your grandkids and you
55:42
Oh, my God, I feel like I'm about to cry with that. You need them in there
55:51
Mm-hmm. You're good. Okay. They're amazing, and when you're in it, the time seems like it goes so slow
55:58
but in actuality, it really goes so fast. Yeah. You did a great job with them
56:04
They're smart. They do so much. And the world is there. They're just beginning to live
56:09
Yeah, I'm excited. And I really do appreciate that. Like when you text me and write me like, oh, I'm proud of you as a mother
56:16
I know that how rough it was for you, knowing that I had three kids so young
56:22
But if I don't tell you enough, I'm super proud of you. You're so amazing
56:28
I love you. I love you too. Being a parent is hard at any age
56:34
but as long as you do your best and you love your children, things will be good
56:39
I definitely feel like I've grown up with my children. I'm super proud the way that I raised my children
56:43
and the woman that I am today, the mother that I am today. I hope that all my children live successful, happy lives
56:52
and then one day make me a grandmother but we have some time for that
56:57
We're speaking future. She says she wants a milkshake for breakfast
57:10
Girl, I always start with me cooking breakfast because they demand breakfast
57:17
Hey, girl. My name is Linaya. And my name is Tyra. And we have five kids
57:24
The oldest is eight. His name is Princeton. Then we have Messiah
57:28
He's six. We have Legacy. He's five. And we have Treasure. She's three
57:33
And we have True. Look at you waving. And she's one. And she runs the house
57:39
And she's 50. Usually, for breakfast, everybody eats the same. For dinner, everybody is picky
57:48
So I have to try to get everybody fed. How much do you spend on groceries per month
57:54
If you put grocery and out-to-eat put together, it's easily going over $2,000
58:01
How do you split your household responsibilities? I cook some days, he cook some days
58:08
I wash the laundry and he folds it normally. I feel like all he do is play with me all day
58:17
He's a goofy, fun parent and I'm the parent that means business
58:22
Which one of you is this picture of parents? Oh, definitely her
58:27
Oh, I'm the cool dad. All we do is have fun all day long
58:32
Is he actually fun? So what is some of your favorite stuff to do, kids
58:38
I like playing sports and playing video games, and I also like going to sleep
58:49
Is this a nice moment for you guys while they're eating? Yes. Oh, yeah
58:54
They occupied, so that's all that matters. There you go. If we can get all five of them occupied at the same time, yeah
59:01
We cherish it. There you go. How long have you been married
59:06
August, it would be five years. When we met, I was 16 and she was 13
59:13
I was 14 when I got pregnant with my first kid. How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant
59:21
It was just lack of and disbelief. Yeah, when I found out at first, I about didn't believe it
59:27
As it settled in, I kind of got nervous. Tell about both your families
59:34
What did they think when you told them? My mom, I think she felt maybe a little disappointed
59:41
About the same thing, about disappointment. It's pretty much like, you know what you got to do now
59:47
if you got a child on the way and everything. How big of a task is it getting everybody ready for it
59:58
It's a really big task. We're getting them all ready. You have one crying, you have the other ones
1:00:04
They running all over the place, won't be still. What is your day-to-day life like as a parent of five kids
1:00:11
Imagine if every day you had a tornado on the way. You know a tornado was coming every day in the weather
1:00:20
We got one kid that's always crying. We got one kid that's always into something
1:00:25
We got another kid that can't never find his socks or shoes
1:00:30
It's a lot of energy in this home. It can be, at times, a little draining, but it has its moments
1:00:37
You know, it's a lot of love and caring about each other and everything like that
1:00:42
So I always wanted a lot of kids, so I'm happy with it. Here we go
1:00:48
Legacy. You like that stick? Yeah. Are your kids all well-behaved? Yes, for the most part
1:00:56
Every single teacher believes that we have the best kids ever. But they have their moments where all they do is fight
1:01:05
All right, I'm gonna get some of the stuff. Good morning my friends and happy Wednesday I trying to figure out why ain nobody tell me these kids last day of school is on Thursday I share my life on TikTok by just doing day routines
1:01:23
and sharing my life as a 24-year-old mom of five kids. Listen here now, I'm 24 with five kids
1:01:33
and if it ever seemed like I was trying to promote teen pregnancy
1:01:37
or to have your kids young. Baby, go call them people on me
1:01:42
How do you feel when someone says you're glamorizing teen pregnancy? I don't like that because I'm not
1:01:49
Some of the negative things that people have said is, why would you do that
1:01:54
Bro, she really ruined her life at 14 years of age. Being 24 with five kids isn't it
1:02:01
I don't care what nobody says. That is really not a good look. How does that make you feel when you hear stuff like that
1:02:07
Honestly, it don't make me feel bad. It just makes me feel like, you know
1:02:13
everybody should mind it being me. You experience the same sort of like
1:02:17
judgment type stuff that she's experienced? Actually, I haven't experienced any like
1:02:24
judgment towards this situation I feel like it kind of fair Can you tell me about how some of your family supports you If we need anything they help out a lot and they help with the kids if needed
1:02:39
Hey, I like your dress. Hey. Hey. Hey, Drew. You're so pretty today
1:02:45
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. Tell me what it's like to have all these younglings in your life
1:02:51
It's great. I mean, it's amazing to see them all hanging out
1:02:55
I wouldn't trade them for nothing else in the world. Oh, that is so pretty
1:03:00
That's a flower. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Did you have any concerns about that age you got when they first started dating
1:03:08
No, not really. No, I didn't because my daughter's very mature. Well, that when they first had the kids, was it kind of like, oh, my
1:03:18
Yeah. At first, with her being so young, it was a little upsetting
1:03:25
because it was a story about how I found out, but it was very surprising
1:03:30
What's the story? Tell us the story here. Her and her cousin was on a moped and she fell off
1:03:38
I had to come take her to the doctor and it was like, well do you know she pregnant No I do not Do you think being 24 years old and having five kids is a lot
1:03:52
Yeah, it is. Because they're not cheap, but they are doing a great job
1:03:58
She's doing a great job, though. I can't imagine myself with five kids
1:04:03
I'm sorry. I'm 30, but I don't know. No, no, no. What do you think makes a good parent
1:04:14
I think patience. Just being there. Just show up for your kids
1:04:19
Would you like to have any more children? Nah, the funny thing is, is after we had our first one
1:04:25
I want to, like, start in five, like a basketball team. So to me, five is the perfect number
1:04:32
I got to get out. My knees hurt. If financial sanity was a problem, then I have more
1:04:41
Thank you
